<p>Hi! This is my first chances thread. I'm a white female from a midwestern suburb public school with ~2500 students. I am looking to major in either journalism, marketing, or double major in a health science (nutrition/exercise science/bio) & pair that with comm or business.</p>
<p>GPA: 4.6 W (my school doesn't tell us UW).
SAT: n/a
ACT: 30, 31 superscore... haven't studied for the ACT yet so I hope to get it up to 31 composite this fall.
Highest subscores are 29-math, 27-science, 36-english, 33-reading, 10-writing
Rank: School doesn't rank.</p>
<p>Classes:
Basically all honors/AP except for non-honors electives/physical education sprinkled in.
Soph year: AP Euro (5)
Jr year: AP Lang & Comp, APUSH, AP Calc AB
Sr year: AP Lit & Comp, AP Spanish, AP Stats, AP Bio</p>
<p>All A-/As in everything except math classes I've consistently gotten B-s and Bs and this year I took Calc AB as a junior (darn you math track I was on!) and got a C- (I know I know) first semester & a B second semester. Also 1 B+ in 1st sem APUSH and 1 B+ in 2nd semester honors physics.</p>
<p>ECs:
-Student Council: Student Council Pres (sr), Exec VP (jr)
***Our SC plans Homecoming, Turnabout. Leadership summer retreats, part of leadership book club, reformed student fan section to make a club so it'd be ran more smoothly. We organize school-wide fundraiser that brings in $30,000 annually within a 2-wk period for a charity we pick.</p>
<p>-Section Editor of School Newspaper
***Newspaper at our school is a class. Pre-reqs are J1 & 2. I've never taken Newspaper but the advisor and J1/2 teacher thought I was very qualified to be an editor & first year Newspaper writer. I am the first ever first year editor. I've already started editing for last issue of school year.</p>
<p>-FBLA
***I went to Nationals summer of soph year and got top 3 in my speaking-based event. I also got 1st at regionals & state. Doing another speaking-based event this year & going to Nationals again. 2nd at state</p>
<p>-Sports
***2 seasons of JV tennis (stopped end of soph season), 1 season of Varsity xc (idk if this counts as 2 bc I'm doing it this year again?), 2 seasons JV track (will do it again in spring so it will be 3 by time I graduate)</p>
<p>-Theatre/Music
***Solo & Ensemble choir awards. Priv. voice lessons, 4 years of choir (curricular not EC) and I've been in the top choir as long as one can be in our school. 2 shows freshman year, 1 in which I was a lead. Theatrical voice recital/musical showcase 3 yrs. I believe I will be starring in my friend's short film this summer.</p>
<p>Volunteering:
-NHS
<em>**will have 50+ hours of NHS service by graduation. Volunteer at youth summer camp for low-income housing (sparse hours, probably 15 by end of summer), volunteer tutor
-Library Volunteer
*</em>*50ish hours right now. Part of story-recording team where we interview senior citizens about their life stories & make them CDs. It's a journalism-oriented volunteer project, I'd say. I've been doing this since freshman year.
-Tri-M music honor society
negligible service hours, but still some service
-Interact Club
15 hours service/yr through this</p>
<p>Please chance me at the following schools
-Boston College
-Boston University
-USC (Southern California) --> Annenberg
-Stanford
-UNC --> Journalism & Mass Comm
-Northwestern -- (Medill)
-Washu
-Villanova
-Cornell --> Human Ecology (I'd do a public health/nutrition major & probably double major in English)
-William & Mary</p>
<p>For the rest of the schools I'd probably pursue either marketing/english/journalism degree combined with a bio/health related major, depending on what's offered. </p>
<p>These aren't the only schools I'm looking at. I have other safeties in mind. But if you have any more suggestions, feel free to throw them out there. Also, if you are not that familiar with the school, I'd rather you just not chance me for that one instead. Thanks!</p>
